Tom Brady: 5 Possible Destinations & 5 Possible Replacements

9. Replacement: Nick Foles

This one is where it gets a little bit tricky as Foles is still under contract, and he's not cheap either at $22 million per year. However, after a disappointing season which saw him exit in week one with an injury, Gardner Minshew emerged as a fan favorite and promising rookie with potential. The Jacksonville Jaguars might decide to let "Minshew-Mania" run wild and look for a way to move out from under Foles and his 4-year contract. We've seen Belichick pull off crazier trades and he seems to have a knack for getting the most out of unwanted veterans.

History says that Nick Foles plays his worst football when he's not in a Philadelphia uniform. Yet, this is still the same guy that led the Eagles to a championship over these very same Patriots. There's not too many Superbowl MVPs attainable in the offseason... would you rather they made a trade for Joe Flacco?
